We've already had our first crack behind the wheel of the 2011 Chrysler 300, but the automaker released additional photography of its new full-size sedan in advance of its public debut at the 2011 Detroit Auto Show.

Chrysler vowed to revamp its entire lineup with new sheetmetal and interiors for 2011, and the new 300 abides by that pledge. As previously seen in earlier spy photographs, the car's entire front clip has been redesigned to incorporate a new grille, slick projector-style headlamps with LED parking lights, and additional chrome accents. A shapelier decklid and bumper fascia help spruce up the 300's rear, while restyled taillights are illuminated with LEDs.Underneath the skin, the 300 will remain similar to the outgoing model, but engineers have incorporated a number of revisions. Arguably, the biggest news lies with powertrain -- the 5.7-liter V-8 remains an option, but the company's new 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 replaces two previous six-cylinder offerings. The sole transmission offering remains a five-speed automatic, but further down the line, the new 300 will be available with a ZF-licensed eight-speed gearbox.

Look for the 2011 300 to make its first public appearance at the 2011 Detroit Auto Show in early January. Early production models are expected to roll off the assembly line in Brampton, Ontario, Canada, early next year, and roll into dealer lots within the first quarter of 2011.Source: Chrysler

The chrome on the back bumper, while gaudy to some, actually appears to serve a purpose to me. I have a young toddler and another baby on the way and when stowing a stroller in the trunk of an ordinary sedan, scuff markes and scratches are inevitable when your wife is only 5 foot tall and is by herself with the kids. This however, protects the bumper as well as dressing it up. A "black-chrome" option might be welcome too though....

I do think it looks better than the Charger! Better than anything Ford or GM has EVER produced! Not even close to legally blind but it is my opinion and I could care less if you agree. You probably think the Chevy Cruze is a good deal at 26 k for a fully loaded compact car.

@ ram150005"The most beautiful car to ever be produced"?And the award for Most Blind Fanboy goes to you!While this car is very nice looking IMO (Charger is still better), if you honestly think this is the nicest looking ever made, you are either legally blind or an idiot. I know everyone is entitled to their opinion, but there are cases (like this one) where an opinion can actually be wrong.

Someone ban AutoMonsters IP already..Anyways, was just about to post these on the forums. Saw them on Webb Blands (the photographers) Facebook just now :P Still dont like it as much as the old 300 though..
